THE LfQyOR TRAFFIC.
High License and Local Option
Recommended.

You will be called upon at this session to
consider measures looking to the further reg
ulation of the liquor business in this state
The people have pronounced in favor Of
high license. local option and the rigid en-
forcement of the laws relating to the liquor
traffic., and now turn to you in the hope and
expectation that you will, in the form Of suit
able legislation, give effect to the verdict
which they have found. Outside of the
limiie number engaged in the liquor traffic
in tnrs state. the people, by a very large ma
jority and without regard TO political parties,
favor the measures proposed. l can see no
reason why the desired legislation should not
be promptly enacted. 1t is undoubtedly true
that while the question of high license does
not properly relate to party politics, it is one
of intense interest to the liquor vendors of
the state, and in our cities and large towns
has become the predominant issue at every
election.
THE LIQUOR INTERESTS
are organized as compact power for the
avowed purpose of combating all efforts look
ing to the further regulation of the liquor
traffic. The effect of such an organization in
such cause can not be otherwise than harm
full. All questions are made secondary to
that of high license. and every man who
stands for office-and more particularly a
legislative offce-is required to pledge him.

you if this is not a pernicious influence on
the legislation of the state. Two years ago a
high license uill was before the legislature
with every prospect of becoming law, but
was finally defeated through the organized
efforts of the liquor interests. This organiza-
ton is much Strons er to-day than it was
then, and will no doubt oppose with zeal

THEsECoND STATE PRISON.
This institution ShOuld BE Made q
EsefOrmntOry.


At the last session of the legislature a law
was passed providing for the location of a
second state prison. A strong sentiment has
since arisen in the state in favor of making,
the proposed prison a reformatory. At q
public meeting held at the state capitol Dec.
~, 1885, resolution was adopted without
dissent declaring it to be the sense of the
meeting that instead of the new state prison
contemplated by the law of 1885, reforma-
tory institution should be established The
meeting included all of the inspectors of the
state prison, all of the managers of the state
reform school, the members of the state
board of correction and charities, judges of
the courts, prosecuting attorneys and many
leading citizens of the state Ten years
ago the first refornatOry prison was opened
at Eimira, n. Y, as an experiment. The eX-
pertinent proved so successful that similar
institutions have since been established IN
MlchtEan. Massachusetts, Pennsylvania Ohio,
Kentucky and Kansas. Massachusetts re-
modelled the new state prison at Concord at a
large expense for d reformatory, and Pennsyl-
vania, with the same purpose in view, has
recently changed the plan of a projected
penitentiary at Huntingdon. therefore re-
commend that the proposed new prison in
this state be made reforma+ory for criminals
convicted for their first offense. In this connec-
ton, and in view of the establishment of an
additional prison, would suggest that the
board of state prison inspectors be increased
nom the present number (three) to five,

PRISON LABOR.
The Contract system Unjust. and
should he Abolished

should he abolished.
During the last few years-and more espe-
cialiy during the last year or two-the subiect
of prison labor and its effect on free labor
when brought into competition Herewith. has
received much earnest consideration. not only
by labor organizations throughout the conn
try, but by thoughtful men in the professions
and other walks of life, whose only interest
in the matter has been one of Justice to all
parties concerned and of good to society.
That prisoners should work does not admit of
argument. For reasons of discipline and
health, if for no other they must be kent en-
ployed. But how to do this and not bring the
products of their labor into competition with
those of free workingmen and mechanics is a
problem which has engaged the attention
of many earnest and able men, and which
you will probably be called upon to consider
at this session. am well convinced that the
S. stem OF letting the prison labor out by con-
tract to the lowest bidder, now prevailing in
this state, is unjust in many ways and should
be abolished; and to this end | recommend
such legislation as will rohibit its extension
beyond the term of the present contract The
price paid by the contractor in Minnesota
per convict is 40 cents day, and this labor is
utilized in the manufacture of articles which
are sold in the market
IN COMPETITION
with like articles manufactured by free labor.
duce the wages of free mechanics, and in
numbers of cases in other states has broken
down manufacturing establishments and
thrown hundreds of mechanics and other
Workingmen out of employment. With this
state of things existing it is not to be Won
dered that the representatives Of free labor
complain. Iconfess to the fullest sympathy
with them. state cannot be greater than
It's citizens. Its prosperity is measured by
theirs, and Whatever contributes to their ad-
vantage adds TO its greatness. 1t may be
found on investigation that the evils result
ant from the system in this state are not so
great as Observation-Disclosures the sys-
tenn is bad, and should be abolished. Free
LABOR naturally rebels against competition
with the labor OF criminals, and who can
blame it? 1t should be the policy of the state
to eXalt and dignity labor, and to conserve in
every reasonable and proper way the inter-
ests of its laboring men. In this spirit /
recommend the abrogation of the system in
Minnesota, aud commend the matter to you
IN the expectation that whatever legislation
is necessary to bring this about you will
freely grant.

ERING STOCKS.
No Legal Rights to Dividends ON
This lind of Propergy

commend to your special considers on
the legislation propo sed by the commission
ers to preventive issue of false, fraudulent
and unpaid stock by railroad companies, and
to regulate proceedings in the matter of in
creasing their capital stock. 1t appears to
me that the proposed bill is well calculated to
suppress the evil of watering stocks by rail-
road corporations, trick by which ictitiou 5
capital is created, and upon which the people
are required to pay dividends. This method
of diluting and expanding capital, already
dangerous to The public from it's very vast
ness and its absolute control by Il few persons
sometimes practically by one man-costs
the producing ollsses of the country many
millions annually. There can exist no moral
claim to dividends on watered stock, and
there should exist no legal right to such divi-
deadS.

and place-on wheat of the same kind and
quality. The railroad and warehouse COM
missioners have done much to lessen the evil,
but there is still wide room for Improvement.
If possible, the inspection should be made by
persons not only disinterested in the re-
suit, but without knowledge of the ownership
OF the grain or of the probable purchaser-or,
indeed. of the person or persons interested in
commissions on it, Under conditions of this
kind am sal fled that the surprising and in
applicable differences in official grades of
the same variety and quality would rarely oc-
cur. Every avenue to dishonest practices
should be closed by law where possible. With
the door to favortism left open, dissatisfac-
will prevail. even in the absence of actual
fraud.

PLATFORMS AND PLEDGES.
The TWO Parties Seem 10 Have Reen
of One MI ind.


By reading the platforms of the two leading
political parties of this state, adopted in their
conventions held in September last it will be
observed that liberal promises were made in
boIh On number of subjects they seem TO
have been in full accord. For Instance, in re-
spect to establishing home for disabled and
needy survivors of the Union army in our
state; the abolishing of the contract system
of prison labor; the amendment of our rail-
road and warehouse laws, where needed to
secure relief to the agricultural classes; the
establishment of state bureau of labor
statistics, and in other matters, there appears
to have been no division of sentiment. l am
bound to believe that both conventions were
sincere in their declarations, and that you, as
the representatives of the people, elected on
the platform of one or the other of the two
great parties, are here in good faith to redeem
the pledges made. I believe that the people
have right to expect from us q strict fulfill
ment Of these declarations and for one
stand ready to do my part to carry lni m out
in good faith. 1t has been customary hereto
fore for legislatures to disregard the issues
on which they were elected, let the custom be
broken. Honesty and good faith in pei teal
party are much TO be admired as like at
tributes in individual.

Senators and Representatives: In assum-
ing the duties OF the office of governor to
which have been duly chosen by the electors
OF the state, it becomes my duty, in accord
ance with a well-established custom, to ad-
dress you on such matters of public concern
as appear to me worthy of your attention and
consideration. But first L desire 10 bear
testimony to the ability and fidelity with
which the duties of the position have been
administered during the last five years by my
predecessor, GOV. Hubbard. His message, to
which you have just listened, is the closing
act of administration that honors alike
himself and our great state which he has so
faithfully served and entities him to the
thanks of grateful people.

A SOLDIERS home.

l commend to your favorable consideration
the subject of a soldiers home. Representa-
tives of several organizations of ex-soldiers
in this state, who have for some time past
given this subject careful consideration, in
sist that the time has now come when it is
necessary for the state to provide a home for
the veterans of the late war, citizens Of Min
nesota who are disabled and needy. 1t has
been ascertained that more than fifty ex-
soldiers are subjects of public charity within
our borders. 1t is also a notable fact that the
generous provisions made by the government
nearly twenty years ago in establishing five
branch homes in different parts of the coun-
try have now become entirely inadequate to
the needs of the eXsoldiers. While it is I'M
questionably the duty of the nation to pro-
vide for these men suitable homes, the peo-
pie of Minnesota will never willingly consent

in that land.locked refuge. This fine
vessel draws eight feet of water, and
